That is what I have been thinking for the past hour.

Itās a buff, tooā¦
Flank?

This is the first option
This is the second.
I am leaning towards the second one cause Vela being fast.
What you guys think?

Vela seems to be pretty ineffective at wing, she causes me no trouble there.
Iād lean towards Zim left wing and Seshat right wing.
Zim, Ariel, Aegir, Vela, Seshat.

Looks decentā¦ Iām not sure Iād tank Vela though, she never gives me trouble there - maybe swap Ariel to tank and increase the odds of Mitsy firing from the mana boost?
Then again, big emblem gap

I would use Richard as tank if I were you.
Actually I would arange your heros in the folowing order for defense.
Athena - Kiril - Richard - Mars - Victor.
I dont have Athena but I sure hope she is a dispeller!

I have Frida up to 4/37 but I havent used her to have a feel for her. Those with experience: it worth swapping her for Magni or Isarnia?

Slow on wings rarely fires.
Iād swap Magni and Isarnia aroundā¦ Better to waste 1/3 of one part of his special than to bring a hero that wonāt get to fire.
Edit: note that whilst Magni defence buff boosts you, Isarniaās defence down overwrites potential defence buff on your attackersā¦ Both worthwhile.

Thinking of trying this. Doubt Iāll get very far in a 5* but at least Iāve got a fairly extensive set of maxed 4* to chose from.
My Roster if anyone has any alternative suggestions.

Personally Iād be using Triton instead of Sonya; extra buff and all that.
Edit - saw triton as maxed which he isnātā¦
Sabina and Sonya both do dispells so donāt need both.
Iād also personally look at using a different colour to purple in Grimbles spot. Maybe Wu Kong (for an extra buff) or Chaoā¦ Or Anzogh/ a redā¦

I like the double dispel and Sonya is beefy, which Triton really isnātā¦
And Iād put Wu instead of Grimble.

Miles off max thoughā¦ And flimsy even maxed.
I really wouldnāt.
Thanks. Triton and Anzogh are a way from being fully maxed so I had dismissed them. The team is definitely lacking punch but I thought it might nicely frustrate! 
Oops missed not maxed.
When maxed I would over Sonya given the rules of this tournament. He also hits harder than soya and gives more buffsā¦ While Sonya just doubles up on what Sabina does.
Itās beefy and got buffs thoughā¦ If itās hard to drop and can pack a heavy slash then itāll surprise people.
Thereās a case for Chao in that he adds frustration. Wu or Chao will work.

I could go either wayā¦
If youāre packing beefy heroās and a lineup intended to frustrate (looking at his bench, it looks the sensible way to go, to me) then keeping attackers buffs off has plenty to commend it - especially when placed so that theyāll fire at different times, which these willā¦
If anything though, itās Sabina on the wing that is less than ideal in my book - itās less of an issue here than it might be in a more attacking defence though.
I tend to think that a defence works best with an identityā¦ It can be defensive and frustrating, it can be viciously offensive and looking for quick kills.
It takes great care and appropriate choices available to find a middle ground that worksā¦

But regular Richard is not leveled. I like the costume version just better for hitting harder.
Iām just learning so much from these boards and from all of you. Thanks for all your input. 
(Iām a girl, btw ā¦ albeit a Tomboy so ā¦ whatever. )
I am taking all of this on board although I accept that Iām currently on a very steep learning curve and itāll be a while yet before I can make it to a Friday (seeing I donāt use Gems). Although, as you can see, Iām getting to the point where I can put up some decent attack stacks now. Having a great deal of fun learning how this game works.
Thanks again @BubblesUK and @Guvnor

Ah, that narrows it down for nowā¦
Honestly though, Richard isnāt (ever) a hard hitter.
Using the costume to boost the hit is putting lipstick on a pig - it doesnāt turn him into something heās not, it just makes him a bit less of what he is.
Heās a tanky grinder in either form - but Paladin suits this much better than Barbarian does.
